Whether you think it is fair or not, how you present yourself is very important, especially in the professional setting. It affects how others perceive your intelligence, education and capabilities. From the very first glance, it can make or break whatever follows. Leading with the right foot, is your most important asset and tool to help grow your business, gain quick respect or keep good rapport in the business world with clients and colleagues.

This standard isn’t only apparent when meeting someone, but also with how you present yourself to others through advertising materials. In this day in age, just a name on a business card is almost something out dated. We are living in a more technological driven society where visuals are everything. From Business Websites, to Billboards, to Professional groups like, LinkedIn; images are thrown into our faces daily. All of these forms of advertisement, most likely have a face or at the very least a visual of some kind attached to it. It is better to have more than just a word to remember something by, the most attachments you can create to a brand the better…so back to those business cards. It is very common for business cards to have a picture on them and your LinkedIn profile to not have a picture you would also have as your main profile picture on Facebook.

Your career is your lifeline and that lifeline deserves the best representation of you…a professional headshot. Leave the iPhone photos for facebook, we can all tell it was a selfie with bathroom lighting and attempted from 20 different angels. Be as professional with your career as the face you want to lead you, getting a professional headshot is one of the best things you can do for your professional outlook. They say a picture tells a thousand words. You wouldn’t want one of those words to be negative now would you?

I recently shot Miss Tiffany for a gorgeous and edgy Beauty Session. She wrote this wonderful testimonial that hits the nail on the head as far as what your experience will be like when you come to my studio. Thank you, Miss Tiffany for your fun spirit and kind words!

“I have dabbled in a couple photo shoots in the past, so I had somewhat of an expectation going into my session with Jesamin of Emery & Co. Photography. Although, I don’t like to hold expectation too high, because every experience should be different and judged solely on itself- unless it just totally just bombs. However, any sort of expectation I could have been lingering on to, was completely crushed by Jesamin and her services at Emery & Co. Photography.

They play close attention to the small things. The small things are what add up to make an experience great. From the first time I met Jesamin, I immediately noticed, how well she is at engaging with you and being relatable. She makes sure the outfits you have in mind will look great for the camera, figuring out the style or mood you want to capture, as well as overcoming any hesitations you may have about the process.

A major additional service Emery & Co Photography provides is hair and make-up. With some photo shoots I have had in the past I felt like they could have been better if I had better make-up. Lets face it we all just don’t keep make up on hand made especially for use with the camera. And truthfully I think that is a good thing, we don’t have to walk around constantly thinking we are going to appear on TV or in a photo, ha. She takes the time to sit down with you, the makeup artist and hair expert to figure out the look you are trying to capture. If there is ever anything in question while getting glammed up, she is just an arms length away to help out!

Her minimalist approach to props and staging makes you the centerpiece of the photo. After all, you are the one that needs to shine, not some pretty flowers sprouting behind your head!

Whether you are looking to get a little sexy, a little professional or just having fun, Emery & Co. Photography is a great fit for you. The process is easy, professional and most importantly fun! I promise you wont leave disappointed…so what are you waiting for? Book your session today and experience all the greatness I just shared with you!”
